Update

Hello Pilots,

Another update! It's been 3 months since the last update. Sadly, it has also been 2 months since I last heard from my AME/CAA. I sent off the last batch of requested tests (nothing showing as significant or cause for concern), however, I can see on CELLMA that my AME has only uploaded 1/4 of what was requested by the CAA. At this point I have spent 14 months on this CAA CLASS 1 Medical, with 10 months of waiting for responses (one instance was 6 months). I'm so close to the end and yet I still feel a bit like I'm being taken for a ride... I've gone as far as contacting the government's minister for transport about the situation via my MP and in response I received a copy and paste from the front page of the CAA website explaining what it is and what it does.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Naturally, as it's April I have lost my place at my chosen flight school. I have also lost out on 2 scholarships due to this medical situation. I'd consider legal action, however I'm unaware of any law firm that would specialise in Aviation.

Any advice with regards to this situation would be immensely valuable.

Fly safe!
